    Perhaps he's just going to have to learn that he's not getting any more of them until you cure your chocolate addiction.

    well done darlin- proud of you! (is hubby showing any signs of conversion yet?)

    Cheers Squirreltufty! Hubby is still smoking outside, I don't know how long he is going to keep that up, but I believe he is still on 10 a day.

    I won't pretend that I haven't had the urges, sometimes it is so strong, but I just try and think of someting else and I haven't given in and won't either.

    :j £65 saved by me up to today! At the weekend I am going to go shopping to treat myself and then throw everything I have at the credit cards and holiday. Hooray!! :j

    Told a lot of people at work today, so that's another hurdle out the way!

    Sorry to hear some can do a week, hope you get through the barrier soon.

    Most of work know now and I am finding it frustrating, mainly with the non smokers. They corner me and say -

    Them: I hear you have given up smoking - why?
    Me: Because I wanted to
    Them: Because of money or something? What made you do it?
    Me: Mind your own bloody business!! :mad:
    Them: Has your Husband given up
    Me: No - why? What difference does it make to you? :mad:

    Why do people pry so much? Most (except one) smokers and ex smokers are great - they say 'how long?' and 'what method?' and 'cool' and away they go.

    Non smokers are so damn nosey!! Of course I haven't been as rude as detailed above, but it is what goes through my head. :o

    Am I being over sensitive about this?

    If truth be told I did not enjoy them.

    Of course you are but as a recently stopped smoker you are perfectly entitled to be.

    I stopped 17 months ago after 40 years. I told people I wanted more control over my own life and being dictated to 20 times a day by nicotine didn't fit with that.

    Well done for giving up - its never too late to stop. :beer:
  • merlin ive been snacking more than i normally would but as of yet ive not put any weight on which is good! but im not gonna complain to much as ive been a smoke free person sice 10pm on the 10th so nearly a month and that works out at roughly £110, which i have spent in boots as i get staff discount, managed to get loads of xmas prezzies for teachers, kids and other family members :)
  • I've cut down to a few a day now, considering I have to do a half mile walk in three inch heels if I want one at work and I don't smoke cigarettes in the house because I hate the smell (silly I know)

    Well done to all those who have given up smoking, that's great.

    I'm looking to stop smoking, as from Monday, so would it be okay if i joined you?
